synthetic really cleans the engines sweetly.

The best engine sealant I found is toyota FIPG or the AC delco engine sealant which GM uses now, I also found that the tube dispenser tool is a very nice item to apply the sealant in the crevice.

when I sealed my cars breather covers I used the caulking tube of AC delco sealant in a dispenser and it went very quickly and very evenly - The sealant sets in half hour. I also bought the toothpaste tube dispenser tool where you can stick the tube in it and squeeze the handles to get a very good control on applying the sealant. I found it on a GM TSB.

The AC delco and toyota sealant are extremely robust. Infact I know of some indy shops that use them on all german and british engines.
